PT Boat Bug?

Do these patrol torpedo boats actually use their torpedoes?
Because I have only seen them use their anti air guns, they do make good long range target practice with the Flak though.

V, all the ones I'm seeing have no guns.... torpedos only. This one is in Scapa Flow. Photo taken last night in 'Breaking the Fortress' mission.

That's cuz they're vospers and Elcos.

V, I can't see any in mine tho I can in yours. I concede you are again correct.

Next time I encounter one I'll have to get a closer screenshot.

While playing this afternoon I was jumped by one outside of Scapa Flow and it was shooting at our sub. Did some damage too before we finished it off. I found that flak guns will not sink a SH5 PT Boat, but it looked like the crew was killed as their gun fire stopped. I jumped to the deckgun and was able to blow it up, tho it did not sink. It just as there and burned, but credit was given for the kill.... 35 tons.

Did you say that the Submarines Flak guns do no damage to the PT boat? Because I only use my use my Flaks on them. Once the catch fire, the tend to stop, and then after a long while they sink, even from flak guns.
